I am somewhat amazed at just how cowardly and foolish Obama and his secretaries are. They really don't get it. Simply amazing and disgusting all at the same time!!

Panetta Warns Israel on Consequences of Iran Military Strike
AP
Nov. 15, 2011: Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said ahead of a meeting Friday with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak that he would warn his Israeli counterpart about the global economic consequences of a military strike on Iran's nuclear program, adding that he still favors sanctions and diplomacy over a strike.
"To go beyond (sanctions and diplomacy) raises our concerns about the unintended consequences that could result. ... There are going to be economic consequences to that, that could impact not just on our economy but the world economy," Panetta told those travelling with him to Halifax, Canada.
Some Republican lawmakers are complaining the Obama administration is sending a schizophrenic message to Iran and the region. On one hand, it is projecting that the Pentagon now has 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs capable of striking an underground WMD program and selling smaller bunker busters to Iran's neighbors such as the United Arab Emirates.
Yet officials are warning about the dire implications of a military strike.
How about the unintended consequences of inaction? Israel has good reason to strike Iran, and all the more so considering how the President beats around the bush regarding Iran's threats to Israel, the US, and the world at large.
Yeah, sanctions and diplomacy worked real well in 1979...
But but but, sanctions are working so well until now. Besides, Dems now are in charge so not a single child is going to bed hungry. The Iranians are not suffering. These are targeted sanctions that only effect the regime.
Idiots! Then again, look at Obama's track record. He is a Muslim and does suck up to the Muslim world. The more radical the regime, the more friendly Obama is. In the meantime, he trashes Netanyahu every chance he gets. Did you all see the reports of him and Italy's PM trashing Netanyahu in private conversation when they didn't think the mic was on?

If you honestly think about it with clarity for a moment, why is it okay to jump in to Libya (that's squarely due to Obama and not Bush) yet it's not okay to just say yes to Israel taking care of Iran? This makes absolutely no sense. Especially since Iran is obviously a much bigger problem and threat.

Early childhood learning experences?
Saw a lil bit on the other day on tv- Israel( a few gov reps)- saying they could take care of these things themselfs. My answer was well -you should & go ahaead & do it.
Do they need the permission of the US goverment?( would the us & un charge them with war crimes?) Or do they need American greenbacks more.

the 'different flavor' ....yes.....from ice cream to crap. This administration, being liberal like most of Europe, is anti Israel. It's a fact and as plain as the noses on our faces.
That being said:
1: do we care if Israel is obliterated by Iran ?
2: would we intervene if Israel is dealt a devastating attack ?
3: do we care if Iran is 'stopped' by an Israeli attack ?
4: can a nuclear attack by Iran be 'answered' in kind by a similar attack by Israel ?
5: would a limited nuclear exchange between the 2 nations result in a more wide
ranging confrontation between 'interested parties' in the region (Aka Russia and
China) ?
and lastly:
6: would a successful first-strike by Israel on Iranian targets serve to invalidate all
of the previous questions ?
Seems to me, OUR government needs to be purged of the scum currently occupying it
(Occupy D.C. ?) and re-deploy human effing beings into positions of power and responsibility. Ahole demokrats running this country have damaged us both domestically and internationally, and I see no tendency on their part for either reform or mitigation. Israel is our ally. It is obvious that diplomacy and crack-pipe reforms have failed and there is but one solution to what is fast becoming 'The Iranian Problem". The "Amerikan Problem" is having the chestnuts to back strong words with stronger actions. We get neither from the clowns currently running the show.
6: would a successful first-strike by Israel on Iranian targets serve to invalidate all
of the previous questions ?
Could be, who knows( not me)wont know intill its tryed imo( same with the other questions i think)- cross those bridges when ( and if)we get to them- at that time)
